Today, I saw a news that 60% of drivers in the United States are afraid of autonomous vehicle. According to a research report of the American Automobile Association, about 63% of American drivers are afraid of autonomous vehicle, and 47% of them think that the current self driving technology is not safe enough. Many people interpret the pessimistic side, saying that the current automatic driving technology is generally immature, prone to safety accidents, causing people's psychological panic. In fact, it is not. From this report, we have seen that a considerable number of people have begun to contact and understand autonomous driving, and the proportion of people who accept autonomous driving is not low. From another perspective, if this survey was conducted five years ago, the respondents must have a blank face: what is automatic driving!

Autonomous driving technology, also known as driverless technology, is a hot emerging technology in recent years. Google, apple, Tesla, Uber and Baidu have all invested in the research and development of autonomous driving in foreign countries. Even traditional car companies such as general motors, Honda, Chang'an and BAIC have "followed the trend" to create autonomous driving products. In the United States, many self driving manufacturers such as Google and Uber have launched self driving road tests. The autonomous vehicle of Baidu company in China also attracted the attention of netizens because it was on the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. In the eyes of many people, the rise of the concept of autonomous driving seems to be an overnight event. Many ordinary consumers are very interested in autonomous driving technology. According to the relevant information on Weibo, more and more domestic netizens have also begun to pay attention to and accept autonomous driving.
